humm , it's like a compilation so ?
and why G80 ALU's MUL function is not utilized ?
Hmmm, let me see.
AMD readies Barcelona and Intel pulls out the Nehalem-hammer.
AMD readies the R6xx-refresh and nVidia pulls out the G92-hammer.

What makes you say that? Because of their first attampt?
What AMD and IBM do doesn't matter as long as the GPUs are fabbed at TSMC.
Nvidia's experience with IBM as a foundry was apparently so great they went back to TSMC.
It is utilized...kindof...maybe...sometimes.
TSMC is simply cheaper, I think.
1TFlop? That's nothing. Wake me when we see a card that can do 1.21 Gigawatts!!11 :smile:
Well, I'd presume it would be quite practical as a room heater. And at that level of power, the ecologists might come complaining about global warming - but it turns out not all of us are against that!Great Scott!![]()
My speculation on the subject certainly would imply so: http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=983681&postcount=795I still ask my self about the ~1 TFLOPs.
Is this really meant for one G92 or possible solutions based on this chip ->GX2(2xG92)?
Yeah. It's also far from impossible to get to that number without the MUL (192*2.6GHz+), but it *is* much more ambitious.1 TFLOP is easily attainable on a G80 based architecture if Nvidia continues to count the MUL.
I still can't believe there is no 64 shader variant of G80.
Yeah. It's also far from impossible to get to that number without the MUL (192*2.6GHz+), but it *is* much more ambitious.
We'll see. I certainly wouldn't say no to a Quad-SLI setup at 4TFlops (MADD-only), but that would be a tad much to ask for on 65nm, perhaps.
Yeah, don't get me wrong - I actually think 192SPs at 2.4GHz+ is very likely. Even if I think it's likely, that doesn't mean I wouldn't be positively surprised anyway though!681 million transistors, 612MHz in the main core and 1500MHz in the shader core also seemed impossible at 90nm and yet, here we are.![]()
